Florida has an open Senate Seat in 2010 with the announced retirement of Senator Martinez. Our Governor, Charlie Crist, has announced his candidacy – but I find myself very impressed with another candidate – Marco Rubio of West Miami. Marco received high marks as the Speaker of the Florida House, perhaps the highest legislative office in Florida – but has never been elected to a state wide office.
Governor Crist’s high polling numbers state wide (something of a mystery to me) are the reason that Crist is the choice of the smart money. I recognize the importance of keeping the seat in the Republican family, but I would like to elect a conservative to the Senate from Florida. On that question, I believe Marco’s credentials are more impressive.
What follows is a video of Marco Rubio, Speaker of the Florida House, in his farewell address to the legislature at the conclusion of his term of office as Speaker.
The clip is 7.5 minutes and is worth a listen.
